Some lies and factual distortions take on a life of their own and there's no way of counter-balancing the damage done. It's incredible how bad the distortions can become. When Rep. John Murtha started questioning the Administration's Iraqi military strategy, all of a sudden Murtha's military service record and medals became questioned too. And when McCain ran against Bush in the critical 2000 primary in South Carolina, the rumors started circulating in South Carolina that McCain had fathered a black child out of wedlock -- ironic, no doubt, as South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond did actually father a black child out of wedlock, a fact that became well-known in 2003 after his death.
There's a lot of swift-boating that will likely occur in this race.
